This appears to be a great deal on a POE 4K security camera system.
Having used wireless products which failed to provide the reliability I needed in a security camera system I’ve been looking closely at wired systems, and this is what I would currently recommend taking a serious look at.
This deal does not appear online at Costco.com, but only in the B&M stores. I suspect this is because the price is lower than what Lorex would like advertised.
Please check your local store for this deal.
My local costco B&M had it on display, and indeed it looks like Dahua is the OEM based on the cameras and NVR interface I saw. This appears to be a great deal as the cheapest I can find a Dahua 4K / 8MP camera in this form factor is about $150 shipped from China. 6x $150 = $900. Thus for less than 6 similar 4K cameras I get a 6 cameras AND a 8 port POE NVR w/a 2 TB HDD. ( I would expect to spend $250+ for the NVR and HDD )
Info:
1x 8 port POE NVR rated for 4K cameras w/2TB HDD – ( model NR9082 )
6x 4K 4mm lens 88 deg FOV POE outdoor rated cameras
6x 100ft of ethernet cable[*]
Thus, you have 2 more ports available for additional cameras to augment this kit, so you can purchase cameras which maybe specific for night time images ( like the Dahua starlight lines of 2MP cameras ) or perhaps even a PTZ or a smaller camera by your front door.
[ * - note, I like to buy a bulk 1000ft box from monoprice and cut custom lengths as needed ]

The camera can capture 4K video at 15fps – which is good for most security camera installations, if you need more fps you can run the cameras at lower resolution.
Mobile app access and Cloud options is available via FLIR product offers, as well as other options if you are willing to take some additional time to configure.
You do not even have to connect this to the internet if you decide to keep it isolated.
It appears to be the following system, which is listed at $1999.99 on the lorex site:

If you need a junction box for this, please search for Dahua PFA121 – this will allow you to put the connectors into the junction box instead of leaving them outside or stuffing them into your walls. Also a junction box allows you to connect with 1/2 EMT conduit to run your ethernet cabling through it ( you will need to use bulk cable and terminate the RJ45 )
The camera appears similar to IPC-HFW4830E-S, note the specs are different in some aspects
